                Background
            
- 
                This plan presents the rationale, boundaries, fiscal data and proposed projects  
 
 which could result from the formation of the Columbus Consolidated Government,
 
 Tax Allocation Districts #5? MidTown West and Tax Allocation District #6?
 
 MidTown East. This redevelopment plan was prepared by Bleakly Advisory Group,
 
 Inc. (BAG) in conformance with the provisions of Georgia Redevelopment Powers
 
 Law (O.C.G.A. Title 36 Chapter 44) which governs the creation of the Tax
 
 Allocation Districts (TADs) in the state. This plan was prepared in cooperation
 
 with the City of Columbus, on behalf of MidTown, Inc.
- 
                Analysis
            
- 
                The purpose of the proposed TADs is to support new commercial and residential  
 
 infill development within the MidTown Redevelopment Area. Together the two TADs
 
 will help future developers overcome deficient public infrastructure, address
 
 off-site costs and other impediments which have made development of many
 
 MidTown properties economically unfeasible to date.
- 
                Financial Considerations
            
- 
                See attached proposed TAD.

                Legal Considerations
            
- 
                The proposed area meets the statutory definition of a Redevelopment Area under  
 
 five specific provisions of the Redevelopment Powers Law.
